The purpose of this district is to provide areas in the Town for general industrial use and manufacturing that is most compatible in scale and location with other nearby and adjacent transportation, commercial and industrial uses. General industrial uses are those which may be wholly or partially located outside of an enclosed building, and which have the potential to emit odor, noxious fumes and degraded air emissions, noise, degraded water quality, heat, vibration, glare, or radiation which is detectable at the property line, or may involve materials which pose a significant public health hazard or significant adverse effect to the natural environment.

In addition to the requirements of this article, compliance with the applicable provisions of Article X, Aquifer Protection District, is required.

Permitted uses subject to site plan approval and conditional permit shall be as follows:

Upon determination by the Zoning Officer that a specific use originally permitted within this district is to be changed so that it involves a separate, different and distinct service, use, process or product, or involves a new operator, an application for a conditional permit must be made to the Planning Board. Prior to authorizing issuance of the conditional permit, the Planning Board may require the correction of any and all phases of the operation which may become or have become detrimental to the neighborhood.

Lot area. The minimum lot area shall be appropriate to accommodate the necessary structures and comply with this chapter, as well as other Town requirements.

See Article XIV, § 178-77.

The outside storage of any equipment, products, raw materials, waste or similar materials in this district is not prohibited, provided that such equipment, products, and materials are not detrimental to nearby residential uses, adjacent districts, community aesthetics or aquifer protection as determined by the Planning Board. The outside storage of disabled vehicles, parts thereof, vehicles not qualifying for a New York State automobile inspection sticker, wrecked vehicles and parts thereof is prohibited unless necessary to operation of such businesses.
